Have to ask you Jane, is this normal for you? I've noticed for myself, if I am showing 5, I start to get a headache. Lower than 5, I start getting shakey. And, well like yesterday and Wednesday, below 4 and I'm shaking inside and out.
My educator told me that the 4-7 were guidelines, and that it really can be different for individuals. I think my normal is more in the range of 6-7 fasting, and 7-10 after eating.
All these questions to ask when I finally get to see and endocrinologist in May.
5 in the morning is high average for me..usually I am 4.6-4.9 and I feel good at all of those numbers...sometimes before dinner even with a snack mind drops to 4 or 4.1 and then I start with the shaking and nausea..I have had several lows before he cut my metformin in 1/2...that had stopped it so far from going under 4 and then I felt absolutely disgusting and inner shaking and sweating and wanted to throw up..just all of a sudden. Near or at 5 feels good for me now. Over the months as my sugar improved, and it started going down I felt OK the lower it went other than at 4 or below. At first if I was 5.7 or 5.5 I would have the same symptoms as a low. I read that your body is used to being at a much higher level so in fact it does feel like a real low...it's just relative at first before it normalizes....
In future you may feel fine at 5...you are new at this like me right? I was diagnosed in April but lost 68 lbs and at my goal weight..anyhow hope that helps and I can believe it's different for people. Best wishes on your continued journey!

Thanks Jane. I was only diagnosed in July, and with complications from the pancreatitis, it's been a real journey. When I first started, by fasting was 29.7. I think things will be a little more predictable now.

I never run, I know it would kill me. If God wanted me to run, he would make sure something was chasing me

Mine this morning was 6.0 or 108, I stand corrected.
